Many of us have a keen interest in what the weather is going to be like in our area. After all, it affects us all in our day to day activities in some way. While there are many apps that will tell us a simplistic weather report, NOAA Hi-Def Radar takes a more scientific approach.

The app makes it possible to view real-time animated weather radar images across an interactive map. Users can adjust the loop speed and the interval between individual frames, giving them plenty of control over what they see.

Other features include the ability to see the weather forecast, severe weather warnings, clickable storm direction arrows, snowfall and hurricane forecast tracks, all in one place.

Using NOAA satellites ensures that NOAA Hi-Def Radar is an ideal way of tracking any upcoming hurricanes or storms, covering the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

NOAA Hi-Def Radar currently only works in the US and can struggle in high-altitude places and parts of Alaska, but for everyone else, it should prove very interesting.
